A lack of natural light in fall and winter worsens many people's moods, and can even trigger bouts of depression. Light therapy aims to reverse these ill effects by exposing clients to broad-spectrum light from a light-therapy box. This sunshine-like glow is believed to affect brain chemicals that control mood, thereby alleviating symptoms of seasonal affective disorder and depression. With the acupuncture option, technicians use fine needles to rebalance the flow of energy through the body, reinforcing light therapy's mood-boosting effects.

Medcare Medical Group

Therapists, counselors, and social workers all play a role at Medcare Medical Group. The practice helps rehabilitate adults and children affected by disabilities or injuries. But people also go to Medcare Medical Group not simply to get well, but to stay well, which often means assuaging stress and boosting energy. Light therapy bathes patients in mood-elevating photons, laser treatments get at deep-seated chronic pain, and massage helps muscles stay comfortably springy.
